Team Challenge

We do not do galas. We do Team Challenge. 🩷 And this year, our community showed us exactly why this is our biggest fundraiser of the year. From the teams who competed to the donors who cheered them on, the support we felt throughout this campaign was something we will not forget. Thank you to every team, every donor, and every person who shared a link or dropped off a donation. You made this year’s Team Challenge a success we are still celebrating. We are already looking forward to making next year even bigger.

This is the final week! Team Challenge is wrapping up, and we're calling on you to make your mark. We don't do galas. We do this. We ask our community to show up, get behind a team, and help us fund the work that matters. You can donate to our general fund or choose a team to support and help them cross the finish line first. The families we serve can't wait. Neither can we. Give here: https://f.mtr.cool/brrfm05zsf

175 million. That is the number of diapers Georgia families with young children are going without every single year. Not nationally. Not globally. Right here in Georgia. 175 million times a baby needed a clean diaper and a family could not provide one. That number is staggering and it is the exact reason Helping Mamas exists. We cannot close a 175 million diaper gap alone but we can make a dent and we need your help to do it. This Diaper Need Awareness Week donate diapers, shop our wishlist, or give monetarily so we can keep working toward a Georgia where no baby goes without. All of September, we are running our 2026 Team Challenge event where businesses, community groups and corporate teams are competiting for good to collect the most diapers. You can choose a team to support this week! Let's close the gap: https://f.mtr.cool/3gn7wu581b

Let this one sink in. 78% of households experiencing diaper insecurity had at least one employed adult in the past year. Diaper need does not stop when a parent goes to work. It does not stop when someone is doing everything right. It does not care about effort or intention. It shows up anyway, in families where parents are clocking in every single day and still cannot make ends meet when it comes to the basics their baby needs. This is not a story about people who are not trying. This is a story about a gap that exists regardless of how hard you work. And it is a gap we can help close together. This Diaper Need Awareness Week we are calling on YOU to donate diapers, shop our wishlist, or give monetarily as part of our Team Challenge movement. Select your favorite team OR donate to our general fund to help combat diaper insecurity. Let's Fight Diaper Need Together: https://f.mtr.cool/fuxivfgk93

$4.5 billion. That is the estimated annual cost of diaper insecurity to U.S. society through increased healthcare spending and lost wages. 🩷 Here is what that actually means: When families cannot afford enough diapers, babies sit in dirty diapers longer, leading to rashes, infections, and more doctor visits. Parents miss work because most daycares require a fresh supply of diapers and will turn children away without them. Lost wages. Higher medical bills. A cycle that is incredibly hard to break. Diaper insecurity is not just a personal struggle. It is a community wide issue with a community wide cost. And the good news is that this community can work towards fighting it. We are currently in the middle of our 2026 Team Challenge, where during the month of September teams are competing for good to help fight diaper insecurity. This week for Diaper Need Awareness Week we are asking you to help support this mission by donating to our general fund OR select your favorite team to support. Every action moves us closer to a future where no family has to choose between diapers and dinner. Support our mission here: https://f.mtr.cool/9ntajnmy36

It is Diaper Need Awareness Week and we are not letting it pass quietly! 🩷 1 in 2 households with young children in Georgia face diaper insecurity. That means half of the families around you do not have enough resources to keep their baby clean, dry, and healthy. That number is staggering and it is exactly why Helping Mamas exists. For the month of September, we are running the Team Challenge, where local businesses, community groups, and corporate teams are competing for good to help us reach our goals! Our goal is 300,000 diapers and every single one counts. You can support our mission by donating to our general fund OR choose your favorite team to support! Donate, share, and help us make sure no baby in the greater Atlanta area goes without. You can donate here: https://f.mtr.cool/7rjabryktx

That’s a wrap on the 4th Annual Witches Ride! ✨🧙‍ Last Sunday, October 25th, more than 300 witches (aka the moms of Brookhaven 🖤) took to the streets in 60+ fully themed golf carts, tossing candy Mardi Gras–style to every little goblin and ghoul who lined the route. 🍬🎃 The creativity this year was next level. We had Dolly Partons, pirates, Tic Tacs, Toy Story, astronauts blasting off, and so much more. Every cart brought the magic! 🚀🏴‍☠️🤠 And the best part? Together they raised $12,245 for Helping Mamas! Every dollar helps get essential baby items to moms and families in our community who need them. A huge thank you to Tess Marks for leading this coven for the fourth year running, and to every witch who dressed up, decorated, drove, and donated. And thank you to the Brookhaven community for coming out to cheer on the witches, support Helping Mamas, and join in a little Halloween fun! 🧹 See you next year, witches! 🔮 #WitchesRide #BrookhavenGA #HelpingMamas #MomsOfBrookhaven #HalloweenParade #golfcartparade

Your child's outgrown clothes have a whole second chapter ahead of them. 🤍 All clothing donations come in, get sorted by our incredible volunteers by size and season, and get packaged into bags just like these. Each bag includes jammies and outfits with a full week's worth of clothing because not every family has access to a washer and dryer. We ask that all donations be in great condition with no holes or stains so every child receives something they can feel good in. That matters to us.

A new address, the same community showing up for families in need. Helping Mamas Atlanta has moved warehouses and we're ready to receive donations at our new warehouse starting today. Swing by Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

What a special day between the hedges! ❤️🖤 Helping Mamas was honored to join the Kirby Smart Family Foundation at Sanford Stadium for its annual giving day and to be surrounded by so many incredible organizations working to strengthen communities across Georgia. We are incredibly grateful to receive a $10,000 Red Zone Award from the Foundation! This generous support will help Helping Mamas provide car seats and pack-n-plays to families who need safe options for their babies to sleep and travel. In 2026 alone, the Kirby Smart Family Foundation awarded more than $300,000 to nonprofits across Georgia. We are so thankful to Kirby and Mary Beth Smart and the entire Foundation for investing in organizations serving children and families throughout our state. And an extra highlight of the day was getting to celebrate alongside our friends at the Athens Area Diaper Bank, another grant recipient. We love seeing diaper need recognized and supported across Georgia! Thank you, Kirby Smart Family Foundation, for being champions for Georgia families—and for supporting Helping Mamas as we work to ensure more babies have the essentials they need to be safe and healthy. ❤️ #HelpingMamas #KirbySmartFamilyFoundation #GoDawgs #GeorgiaBulldogs #SafeSleep

We were honored to welcome State Senator Adrienne White Carden to Helping Mamas Atlanta this month. Senator White Carden is visiting nonprofits across her district to understand how policy impacts families on the ground. When she walked through our warehouse, she saw firsthand how diaper insecurity affects real families here in Atlanta. These conversations matter. Elected leaders who take time to understand community needs are the ones who can help drive real change. We're grateful for Senator White Carden's commitment to listening. 💗
